Character: Jackie Tyler
Fandom: Doctor Who
Character Age: 40
Job: Camp Hairdresser
Canon: Doctor Who, a show about a time traveling alien and the men/women/things that love him. The Doctor travels through time and space to help those in need and mend things that have gone wrong. Since the whole of time can be rather lonely, he often has someone with him to keep him company. One of the Doctor's companions was one Rose Tyler, a working class Londoner who's never hesitated to follow the Doctor anywhere, leaving behind everything.
One of the biggest things Rose leaves behind is Jackie Tyler, Rose's widowed mother who works as a hairdresser and dates sundry men. Seriously, she flirted with the Doctor the first time she saw him. The second time she slapped him. You see, when it comes to her daughter (or anything, really) Jackie doesn't take any shit. She doesn't care if you're the last of an almighty god-like race, if you give her lip she's gonna smack you. Which isn't to say she doesn't care. She just has a special way of caring. Jackie's willful and prone to shouting. She's also kind and would do anything to help those she cares about. She doesn't really understand her daughter's desire to travel the universe, but she's not going to stand in her way.

Well, that's a bit strange. I was just walking along, minding my own business, and this group of strangers just walk right up to me! All strange looking, they were. Like they were sort of melting.... Didn't smell very nice, either. Anyway, they come up, and I think they kept asking for milk, only they said it all funny. Which is understandable, really, considering their mouths were sort of falling off. What they kept saying though sounded like "milf". They got grabby then and I had to leave them. That's when I ran into you- sorry 'bout that, by the way!
Still, was nice to get a bit of attention from someone for a change. Been wandering around this place for a good hour now and the only other bit of notice I've gotten was a cheeky whistle from some strange bird. It's a sign that something's right in the world that a nice upstanding gentleman such as you stops to check on little old me, clearly lost. You're a little hairy, but many women would find that attractive, I wager. Maybe you can show me your place? So that I can get my bearings, I mean. Though I wouldn't say no to a coffee, if you wanted, just you and me?
Not a man of many words, are you? I don't think 'ook' counts as one. Strange sort of suit you have, isn't it? Purple not a color you see on men much, I imagine. But who am I to complain, eh? Looks very well on you, I think. Oh, but you must be dying in this heat! Are you sure you don't want to remove just a few layers?
While I have you, though, I don't suppose you could tell me where I am? I was trying to get to Cockfosters and took a wrong turn, I guess. Then, out of the blue, this woman appears, looking out of place being all posh and she had this these strange sort of eyes. This woman, she gives me directions, says her name's the Director and starts on about "employment opportunities". She says she wants me to go to America and do some sort of counseling. Way she went off about it, you'd think those campers were murderers or something! I tried to tell her to shove off- as if I'd go to America to work for some lunatic!- but she only tells me that she won't take "No" as an answer and that she has ways. Don't know what sort of ways she has but I didn't like that sound of it! So, I set off, trying to get away from her and back to Cockfosters. I turn a corner and here I am, lost in a swamp with this strange sort of thing waving at me from a lake!
Let me tell you, Mr Ook, never trust someone what doesn't give a proper name. Now, about that coffee?
